Since you say more performance as opposed to power, I'd definitely get the suspension sorted first. K-tech and Maxton are two very good starting points. It will transform your bike. Do that first, ride it, and see what needs doing next (probably the brakes).

well thanks for all the advice, you have given me plenty of things to think about and look into, I think the more expensive options will have to wait till next year

Changing the gearing is a good cheap mod, I raised my rear sprocket size by 2 teeth and it transformed the bike, this really does give you the feeliing of better low down pull but does drop your top speed a little. I have a bora conversion on my standard cans and have just fitted a ducati performance filter and lid kit. This has made the bike breath a little better (The intake roar on full throttle is superb) Just got to fit the jet kit now, hopefully this will iron out a small flat spot i have around 6k when throttle is wide open.
Have fun

Ian

Spend the dosh on a suspension set up for you on the bike as mentioned above and then get yourself on a riders school on a track.

The day you sail round the outside of a GSXR or similar who then asks you what you've done to the bike; the answer being nothing mate, it's dead bog standard apart from the suspension's been set up.
Kin yes mate. Grin factor high!

My mate does that on his harley with modified ( extended ) forks and 3 foot apehangers. They never ask him what he's done to the bike because they've gone into a state of absoloute shock
